SPRING LOADED GATE ADJUSTMENT
1. Verify if the gate’s middle roller is parallel with the two (2) pre-stretch rollers.
2. If it is not parallel, adjust using the springs located on top and bottom of the carriage gate.
a. The tighter the springs, the force applied on the pre-stretch rollers will be reduced.
b. If the force on the spring-loaded roller needs to be augmented, just loosen the springs using the
bottom and top screws on the carriage gate.
c. Spring-loaded rollers adjusted too close to the pre-stretch rollers could cause premature wear of
the blue compound.
3. If the middle roller is crooked, you can play with the screws holding the springs in order to straighten it.
4. If the bottom springs of the gate’s rollers are too tight, the gate could be misaligned. Make sure the middle
roller and the two (2) pre-stretch rollers are parallel.
Note: Carriage model may vary but spring loaded gate adjustment remains the same.
